That last message was from my phone, not sure if I got my point across, I'll try again

Imagine driving a ferrari to work every day, on the back roads.

One day that ferrari is replaced with a mini-van with leather seats, a couch, tv, and wet bar in the back. You now drive the highway to work.

When you reach a point in your life, when you think it is just stupid, and ridicilous to drive that ferrari to work, you are ready for a cruiser!

This is just my opinion of course. But Verb, you love muscle cars, have a sick one of a kind boat, something tells me you will regret the day you sell it. Plus, oso won't even be fun anymore. You will have guys with 24 liberators calling you out!

Why not buy a lift and keep this on it wherever you would be putting a cruiser?

Verbi: Keeping a boat in the water is hard on it. I kept mine in a covered slip and it was still a lot of work trying to keep it in the type of condition I was happy with. An uncovered slips beats them up pretty good with sun fade, etc. So, to my way of thinking, it is still a ton of work with a boat in a slip.

5. You know when you take the long way around the island with a go fast, or do a fly by past your destination because you just don't want to turn it off? That will be replaced by a trip that takes twice as long, you get bored knowing that the tabs, trims, and throttles are set and really do not need your attention. Soon you realize that cross wakes do not require attention, and you wonder why your hand is even on the wheel. You can't wait to park it and get away from the boring helm. At the end of the day everyone wants to go to "xxxxxx" and most of them have go fasts, you agree, everyone leaves, and by the time you get there the docks are full.

I HATED IT!

No wonder when I rode on my buddies cruiser he let (made) me take the wheel...while he disappeared down below to make drinks and snacks; opening a beer and bag of Doritos shouldn't take an hour. LOL!

Just like my user name Need-4-Speed...cars, boats, sleds. Yes, I've taken the long way to work in my Mustang many times! But what kind of car does the best burn-out?...a rental of course!

Verbi, we have one of the best go-fast 'compromise' boats out there in this length...lots of performance with almost all the cruiser amenities!
